History
The first building on this site likely dated to the early 13th century, as a residence for the brothers of Sint-Michielsabdij. The structure was rebuilt in the late 16th century, and it was subsequently used as a refuge house. Following a period of disrepair, the building was restored in the 1970s, and today is used as a cultural events space.
